More Scrap Quilts

This is the latest finished top to add to the Scrap Quilt project. I am going to call this one Secret Garden. It kind of reminds me of one of the lattice fences I have around my garden to keep the dogs out. I had been playing with the blocks for a while, then had a little hurry up. This quilt is the next one to go to Australian Patchwork and Quilting magazine, but I thought another quilt was the next! I was kind of dragging my heels with this one. So, yesterday I got out my vast supply of suitable border fabrics and finished it off. I love green, but don;t use it much in borders. This one is by Moda, and called Looking Back by Brannock and Patek. I bought a half bolt of it, so there is enough for the backing as well. Better get cracking on the quilting soon, I guess.

In the post today, I received back my Rail Fence quilt from Aust P & Q. It is to appear in the next issue Vol 20/3, which means I will remove it from my website. This quilt was beautifully machine quilted in a Baptist Fan design by Elaine Pelatt at Quilting in the Vines, at McLaren Vale, South Australia.
